Papua New Guinea Headhunt : An Artist's Journey to Paint Indigenous People in the South Pacific (1906393206)

Gambar
In the 1920's, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands were among the world's last wild places. Largely unmapped and inhabited by headhunters and cannibals, these jungle islands of the Coral Sea captured the popular imagination as examples of the unknown. Many adventurers went to these remote islands, the least likely of whom were two young American women, Caroline Mytinger and Margaret Warner who set out from San Francisco in 1926 armed with little more than art supplies and a ukelele, used by Margaret to entertain sitters while Caroline painted their portraits. Mytinger and Warner went chasing adventure in the name of science, something rarely done by women at the time, and they did it in the face of universal dissapproval and even terror on the part of their families, who didn't expect them to come back alive. Not only that, but they had virtually no money and no scientific support or backing. But live they did, and they brought back beautiful paintings and the fascin...

Paper Love (9783963240669)

Gambar
Susanne Wolff isn't thrilled when her mother sends her all the way across the country to Freiburg to save her uncle's stationery store from bankruptcy. Freiburg is too provincial for her taste, and besides, pen and paper are outdated anyway. Anja Lamm, Paper Love's only full-time employee, takes an instant dislike to the arrogant, digital-loving snob who's supposed to be her temporary boss. But thanks to a meddling cat, a business trip to a stationery fair, and an armada of origami boats, Anja soon starts to see beneath Susanne's aloof exterior, and Susanne discovers how sexy pens and notebooks can be--at least when Anja handles them. As the end of Susanne's three-month stay approaches, will she stick to her plan to leave, or will she open her heart to more than just paper love? Product details Format ...

William Eggleston's Guide (9780870703782)

Gambar
William Eggleston's Guide was the first one-man show of colour photographs ever presented at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Museum's first publication of colour photography. The reception was divided and passionate. The book and show unabashedly forced the art world to deal with colour photography, a medium scarcely taken seriously at the time, and with the vernacular content of a body of photographs that could have been but definitely weren't some average person's Instamatic pictures from the family album. These photographs heralded a new mastery of the use of colour as an integral element of photographic composition. Bound in a textured cover inset with a photograph of a tricycle and stamped with yearbook-style gold lettering, the Guide contained 48 images edited down from 375 shot between 1969 and 1971 and displayed a deceptively casual, actually superrefined look at the surrounding world. Here are people, landscapes and odd little moments in and arou...

Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck Journal (9780063228252)

Gambar
From New York Times bestseller author Mark Manson, comes an irreverent, interactive journal based on the internationally bestselling phenomenon The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck and the New York Times bestseller Everything is F*cked, providing questions and sharp insights in his inimitable voice. In classic Mark Manson style, this journal isn't a "once a day" or "once a week" thing. You can use it any time. Or not. Leave it and come back. Or not. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck Journal is divided into five sections that mirror the themes of The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck and include guided prompts that help you consider the deepest questions around emotions, values and purpose. Manson's wisdom is complimented with exercises to make you laugh, think, and grow, and his in-your-face attitude is only matched by his sincerity in wanting you to really wrestle with yourself and the things that matter. When it comes to the big topics-things like happines...

Der offene Bundesstaat : Studien zur auswartigen Gewalt und zur Voelkerrechtssubjektivitat bundesstaatlicher Teilstaaten in Europa (9783161492181)

Gambar
Bardo Fassbender entwickelt den Typus des "offenen Bundesstaats" europaischer Pragung. Diesen sieht er durch eine OEffnung gegenuber der Voelkerrechtsgemeinschaft gekennzeichnet, indem seine Teil- oder Gliedstaaten eigene voelkerrechtliche Beziehungen zu auswartigen Staaten und anderen Voelkerrechtssubjekten unterhalten koennen. Er untersucht insbesondere die auswartige Gewalt und die Voelkerrechtsfahigkeit der bundesstaatlichen Teilstaaten und die Bedeutung einer solchen Rechtsstellung fur die von Umbruchen und Widerspruchen gepragte internationale Ordnung der Gegenwart. Im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung steht der deutsche Bundesstaat von 1867/71, 1919 und 1949, doch finden in vergleichender Analyse auch andere europaische Bundes- und dezentralisierte Staaten, die Europaische Union und - im Kontrast - die USA Beachtung. In den Grenzen seines Themas zeichnet der Autor die grossen Linien der deutschen und auslandischen Rechtsentwicklung seit dem siebzehnten Jahrhundert nach, begn...
